Can I refer a pool from another partition to common?

We have multiple partitions on our LTM that belongs to multiple teams in our organization that has different API's. Is there a way I can configure an IRULE on common referring/switching multiple pools that are present in other partitions?

 

I know that we can create an IRULE and point multiple pools if they're on the same/common partition.

 

Thank you for your answers!

    1. An iRule can reference any object, regardless of the partition in which the referenced object resides. For example, an iRule that resides in partition_a can contain a pool statement that specifies a pool residing in partition_b.
    2. You can remove iRule assignments only from virtual servers that reside in the current Write partition or in partition Common.
    3. Note that you can associate an iRule only with virtual servers that reside in the current Write partition or in partition Common.
    4. You can associate an existing iRule with multiple virtual servers. In this case, the iRule becomes the only iRule that is associated with each virtual server in the current Write partition. Because this command overwrites all previous iRule assignments, F5 does not recommend use of this command.
